DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
Verdy,Thanks for a clear ranking and your reasons for same. 
Tannoy Speakers without grills...
Not really. If you like the sound you have leverage to get compensated.RT freight is not a moneymaker for the dealer. Get 10% refunded and keep those beauties! 
Class A into Class AB
A for the first few and a/b after that saves electricity, heat, and money in your pocket.  You want some A to start with for the improved sound.So no it is not a scam or marketing hype but actually giving people what they want or should want. 
Tannoy Speakers without grills...
I would say they should have been sold as "Unboxed". 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
So is there a 1-5 ranking coming out of this? 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
Yes. Buy the model below that one for 1/2 the price.Darko review recommended this.  Spend the extra$2,300 on something else.

What DAC to get?

Pimp my speakers: Sonus Faber vs. Focal

Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market?
Fred,Agreed. But curious about why only 42.8 % of people dying are male? 
boulder and d'agostino
Toured the D'ag factory in April this year. They showed the soon to be released 2 or was it 3 box preamp. Dan was beaming. Have your tried it?Does the retailer get a bigger profit selling Dag over Boulder?Or has Boulder cut him off?Find a new dealer. 
Big Brother Watching over Us (again)
noskYour point has validity but I prefer to have all sidespresented and then make my own decisions. 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...
So by more efficient do you mean 90+ Sensitivity?I use class a and 94 rated speakers and I think my low levellistening result is very good.I am curious why SS out performs Tubes at lower levels.Do you know why? 
How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume?
Now this is a timely post. Last Friday I went on a tour of the ARC facitlityin Minneapolis hosted by the gentlemanly Dave Gordon. If you see aBat logo on a reserved parking spot and a car is parked in it you willknow if the Commissioner is in or n...
